Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. Some edge wear to jacket, particularly at ends of spine. Else a bright, clean copy. Cain has been ranked as one of the two best dramatic poems written in England in the nineteenth century. Because of its religious heterodoxy, which veiled a political iconoclasm, and also because of Byron's notoriety, Cain stirred up a storm among Tories and clergymen from Kentish town to Pisa. From 1821 to 1830 more was printed about its eighteen hundred alarming lines than about the twenty thousand of Don Juan. One solemn Frenchman even translated the work in order to supply his countrymen with a text that he could then rewrite and confute. After the initial controversy, readers began to regard Cain not merely as revolutionary propaganda but as a fictional portrait of common youthful experience: a sequence of aspiration, discontent, uncertainty, confusion, misunderstood isolation, fear, frustration, anger, and finally a rash, inevitable, but futile revolt that led to a future of hopeless regret. Truman Guy Steffan here presents a text, arrived at by collation of the first and several later editions with the original manuscript (presently in the Stark Collection of the Miriam Lutcher Stark Library at the Harry Ransom Center, the University of Texas at Austin). The first eight essays, which comprise Part I, cover a number of literary topics: Byron's defense of his purposes in Cain and the relevance of his dramatic theory to the poem; the characterization that is an ideological confrontation, a revelation of personal conflict, as well as a rendering of individuals who have an existence independent of the author; the principles that controlled Byron's absorption and expansion of biblical materials; the integration of the imagery with the dramatic substance; the incongruities of the language; the metrical heterodoxy; and a description of the manuscript and of Byron's insertions. Part II contains the text of Cain, accompanied by notes on the variants, the manuscript cancellations and additions, certain linguistic details, and the scansion of some unusual verses. Then follow annotations on allusions, sources, and analogues, and on a few passages of the play that have elicited unusual conflict over interpretation. Part III provides a history of Cain criticism, from the opinions of Byron's social and literary circle and of the major periodicals and pamphlets to the more complicated contribution of the twentieth century. This important work stands not only as a valuable addition to Byron scholarship but also as an illuminating record of the changing critical and cultural attitudes from the early nineteenth century to the 1960s. Steffan has done a remarkable job in bringing together and synthesizing an enormous body of material.

Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. Esta antología nos ofrece una cuidada selección de los relatos favoritos de Lovecraft, llevada a cabo a partir de sus textos teóricos sobre el género y de las referencias en su extensa correspondencia, presentándonos un panorama bastante completo y riguroso del horror en la literatura desde sus inicios en las postrimerías del siglo XIX hasta los años treinta del siglo XX, fecha tope impuesta por la desaparición de nuestro autor. El horror según Lovecraft abarca desde los inicios del moderno cuento de miedo ;Maupassant, Bierce y Le Fanu; hasta los ocasionales cultivadores del género terrorífico: F. M. Crawford o Ch. P. Gilman. La selección incluye también a los maestros modernos del género, como Machen, Blackwood, M. R. James o Lord Dunsany; a autores que gozaron de la predilección del escritor, como el polifacético escritor y guionista alemán H. H. Ewers; el «raro» e infravalorado M. P. Shield, de vida tan extravagante y fabulosa como su casi desconocida obra; el refinado escritor inglés Walter de la Mare; o el también poeta y escultor Clark Ashton Smith, amigo personal de H. P. Lovecraft. El volumen se cierra con uno de los más significativos relatos del propio Lovecraft, lo que nos permite testimoniar su crucial aportación al género del terror, así como verificar su mayor o menor sometimiento a las reglas que él mismo marcó. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
